## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

2. **Find the Scraper**: Search for "Rent.com Scraper" in the Apify Store.
3. **Configure Input**: Set up your scraping parameters using the input schema.
4. **Run the Scraper**: Execute the scraper on the Apify platform.
5. **Data Collection**: The scraper will output all available rental data.

### Input Configuration

Here's an example of how to set up the input for the Rent.com Scraper:

```json
{
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.rent.com/california/counties/el-dorado/apartments_townhouses_condos_houses"
        },
        {
            "url": "https://www.rent.com/apartment/evergreen-tahoe-apartments-south-lake-tahoe-ca-lc6245397"
        }
    ],
    "maxConcurrency": 10,
    "minConcurrency": 1,
    "maxRequestRetries": 100,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
}
```

#### Input Fields Explanation

- `startUrls`: Array of objects containing one of these formats:
  - Search URL: `{"url": "https://www.rent.com/california/counties/el-dorado/apartments_townhouses_condos_houses"}`
  - Property URL: `{"url": "https://www.rent.com/apartment/evergreen-tahoe-apartments-south-lake-tahoe-ca-lc6245397"}`
- `maxItems`: Maximum number of items to scrape (default: 1000).
- `monitoringMode`: When enabled, only scrapes new listings compared to previous runs (default: false).
- `maxConcurrency`: Maximum number of pages processed simultaneously (default: 10).
- `minConcurrency`: Minimum number of pages processed simultaneously (default: 1).
- `maxRequestRetries`: Number of retries for failed requests (default: 100).
- `proxyConfiguration`: Proxy settings for enhanced scraping reliability.

### Monitoring Mode

When `monitoringMode` is enabled, the scraper will only collect new listings that haven't been seen in previous runs. This is useful for:

- Tracking new properties as they come on the market
- Building a historical archive of property listings
- Monitoring specific areas for new opportunities without duplicating data

#### How Monitoring Mode Works

1. The scraper maintains a record of previously scraped property IDs
2. On subsequent runs with `monitoringMode: true`, it checks each property against this record
3. Only new properties (those not in the record) are processed and added to the output
4. The record is updated with any new property IDs found

### Output Structure

The scraper provides comprehensive information about Rent.com property listings. The output includes detailed property information, location data, amenities, floor plans, and multimedia content. Here's a breakdown of the main components:

### 🤖 For AI Agents & LLM Apps

Compact reference for AI agents calling this actor via the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com) or the Apify API (actor: `memo23/rent-com-scraper`).

**Purpose:** Extract US rental property listings from Rent.com — one row per apartment/community with pricing, beds/baths, location, photos, deals and contact phones, from search URLs or direct listing URLs.

**Minimal input:**

```json
{
    "startUrls": ["https://www.rent.com/california/counties/el-dorado/apartments_townhouses_condos_houses"],
    "maxItems": 50,
    "monitoringMode": false,
    "flattenOutput": false,
    "enrichEmails": false,
    "maxConcurrency": 10,
    "minConcurrency": 1,
    "maxRequestRetries": 100
}
```

For a single property instead of a search, pass a direct listing URL, e.g. `"https://www.rent.com/apartment/evergreen-tahoe-apartments-south-lake-tahoe-ca-lc6245397"`.

**Output:** one dataset row per listing — id, name, addressFull, address, propertyType, listingTier, urlPathname, siteId, profileUrl, price, priceText, priceDrops, bedRange {min, max}, bedText, bathRange {min, max}, bathText, squareFeetText, location {lat, lng, city, zip, stateAbbr}, optimizedPhotos, videos, hdTours, deals, dealTypes, categoryBadges, phoneAppsOrganic, unitsAvailableText, tplsource, basicInfo.

**Behaviors an agent should know:**

- `startUrls` accepts both search-results URLs and direct `/apartment/` listing URLs, mixed in one run; the URL type is detected automatically.
- Always set `maxItems` (default 1000). An uncapped search run paginates through every result page for the area.
- `monitoringMode: true` skips listings already seen in previous runs (tracked by Rent.com ID in a Key-Value store) and stops paginating once a page yields no new listings — use it for incremental/scheduled runs.
- `flattenOutput: true` flattens nested fields with underscore separators for CSV/Excel.
- `enrichEmails: true` is opt-in and adds `contactEmail`/`contactWebsite` plus an `emailEnrichment` object; billed only per email actually found, never for misses, and works mainly for larger managed communities with their own website.
- Billing: Pay-per-event billing — see the Pricing tab on the actor page.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

URLs to start with. The actor currently supports URLs such as `https://www.rent.com/california/counties/el-dorado/apartments_townhouses_condos_houses`.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of items that will be scraped.

## `monitoringMode` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, listings already seen in previous runs (tracked by their rent.com ID in a Key-Value store) are skipped, and pagination stops as soon as a page returns no new listings. Use this for incremental/scheduled runs.

## `flattenOutput` (type: `boolean`):

When enabled, nested fields in each dataset item are flattened into a single level using underscores as the separator (e.g. `location.city` becomes `location_city`). Arrays are preserved. Useful when exporting to CSV or feeding into tools that don't handle nested JSON well.

## `enrichEmails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, the actor tries to find a contact email for each property by locating the management company's website and reading its contact page (e.g. leasing@, info@). Adds `contactEmail` and `contactWebsite` columns plus a detailed `emailEnrichment` object. Best-effort, billed per contact email found; only charged when an email is returned, never for misses — works mainly for larger managed communities with their own website; individual/owner listings usually have no published email, so use the phone number instead. Adds time per page.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of pages that can be processed at the same time.

## `minConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Minimum number of pages that will be processed at the same time.

## `maxRequestRetries` (type: `integer`):

Number of times the crawler will retry a failed request before giving up.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Leave empty — the actor already routes all traffic through its own built-in residential proxy at no extra cost to you. Only set this if you want to use your own proxies.
